Page 2 - Anyone get traffic from these?

These sites both have 200-300 pages and are growing at a rate of 3 to 5 pages per week. I understand about sites in other languages and their traffic potential. I am lucky that my sites are English language.

Most recent SE traffic:

1 Google 5,018 59.3
2 Yahoo! 2,321 27.4
3 Microsoft Network 639 7.6
4 AOL NetFind 240 2.8
5 Netscape 59 0.7
6 Ask Jeeves 56 0.7
7 CompuServe 36 0.4
8 dogpile 26 0.3
9 About.com 15 0.2
10 Overture 13 0.2
11 InfoSpace 7 0.1
12 AltaVista 7 0.1
13 Excite 5 0.1
14 Mamma 5 0.1
15 MetaCrawler 4 0.0
16 AllTheWeb 3 0.0
17 WebCrawler 3 0.0
18 HotBot 2 0.0
19 Lycos 1 0.0

The vast majority of my traffic is direct and return traffic. SE's and advertising drive them to the site in the first place.

Of interest, in the same period 4 themed links, and traffic from one forum drove more traffic to the site than Jeeves.

I'd concentrate on the big 3, G, Y, and MSN

AltaVista is very big in Sweden...

One of the major ISP portal's uses it...

So if targeted some swedish words then your traffic might be higher...

e.g. k/w swedish wife

Wit, Care to explain?
Thanks!

Well, you DO want people to perform an image search, click on your thumbnail and move focus to your page that shows in the bottom frame of the result.

You DON'T want people to then use Google's top frame (that is still showing the thumbnail) and rightclick the See full-size image link.

Easy solution would be to have a bit of JS code like this on every one of your pages:

if(self!=top)top.location.href=self.location.href

You can also block (or better yet: redirect) people using that link - based on referer*. I think php is a good way to do that (but it would take me a long time to write a script for that: I'm a very slow coder LOL)

That's all I can think of before I have my morning coffee. I'm sure it can also be done using evil cloaking things and IP detection, but I can't imagine why anyone would like to go that far....




* the url of the referring page, e.g. anything starting with images.google.com/imgres?... Of course you should block all the other major image search engines too, to be fair

Is that a good average? 3-5 a week? What would be the most you would add a week? I have some sites with 100- 200 pages and was always curious if adding in intervals would please the gods.

Thanks.

altavista = 63

Compared to Google = 84,893
Yahoo = 50 ....
msn = 1380

Guess G is my only real friend....


Lol, 100st post

there is no formula for that, just add naturally, if need to put 10 per week, put 10

Congratulations! Welcome to the club.

well, altavista is dead now like other small search engines.
They are rarely used, sometimes used for comparing results. Nothing more than that.

No, because visitors can steal images direct from a site just as quick.
What bothers me is someone else's server storing another site's content, then serving it to visitors while keeping them from visiting said site.

It is to me, a slightly worse equivalent of drafting (such as applies in racing). Tolerable, but now I have a Nox switch.
That, and one does have the option of marking images in robots.txt as disallow
